Flying and capturing video

I looked and found this one...
Runner-Up: Panasonic SDR-S100
In terms of performance, the diminutive SDR-S100 from
Panasonic is an outstanding camcorder, with a sharp, bright
picture, flash media or otherwise. The SDR-S100 records to
SD cards, the most ubiquitous and inexpensive media
available, and is even shipped with a 2GB card. The video is
beautiful and doesn't appear to suffer from the MPEG-2
compression as much as that from other flash media cams.
Panasonic chalks this up to a new and improved compression
engine with variable bit rates and a wider-range motion
search engine.

The non-expandable battery and lack of audio input indicate
that both of these camcorders need some serious redesign.
But they sure are fun.

|| Hi All,

|| a
|| Piper 28 Cherokee 140 or a katana DV20. I tried already
| with a JVC with
|| Hard
|| Drive (Model Everio G Series). It didn't work so well,
it
| seems that
|| the
|| vibration was too much for the hard drive, so it gives
| recording errors
|| all
|| the time. Regarding mounting the camera, I don't have any
| problems, the
|| RAM
|| Mount works perfectly for both my camera and my GPS.
||
|| Looking forward to read your comments

That's a serious defiency in trying to video record in an airplane.

I never mention audio and did not look for any details other
than the use of flash memory. BTW, a problem that can
happen with video recording is radio transmissions within
the airplane can scramble the recording. I had such a
problem when flying formation flights, with a professional
cameraman recording another airplane in-flight. His
professional camera was not RFI shielded, most home cameras
would also not be RFI shielded.

If you have a cell phone compatible jack in your headset or an audio out
on your intercom, run a patch cord to the audio in on the camcorder.
